    Aishwarya is known for being a very hands-on mother to her daughter.
    Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a favourite target of trolls for her close bond with her daughter Aaradhya. The ‘ Ponniyin Selvan: I’ star was once again subjected to some vicious trolling when she dedicated a heartfelt post on her daughter’s birthday.

    On Wednesday midnight, the ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ actress took to Instagram to wish a happy birthday to her beloved daughter. The star shared a cute selfie where she is seen dropping a kiss on Aaradhya’s lips. Sharing the photo, Bachchan captioned the picture, "My love… my life… I love you, my Aaradhya." She also added a red heart, heart eyes, kissing face, and hug emojis. The number 11 was seen in the background, decorated with flowers.
    This apparently did not sit well with some of the self-appointed moral police of the internet. Some of these ‘critics’ called out Bachchan for the kiss and berated her for being inappropriate. “This is not Indian culture… so shameful!...” wrote one user. "Cringe to the level 100," another commented, while another wrote, "Kissing on Children's lips is just weird". "Maa beti ho thoda toh sharam karo", ( mother and daughter should have some shame) another netizen said. Another grilled Bachchan for being a bad role model for her fans. “ Inappropriate behaviour with no boundaries… we know you have only pure genuine love for your daughter, but you are too much now.”

    However, some of her fans came to her defense and called out trolls for their ‘’sick mentality’’. "What's wrong with this picture? She is her mother... If she can bear a lot of pain to give birth to her she can also kiss her... Its just a pic, its her love," a fan wrote. Another asked, "What's wrong with showing your kid affection? Beautiful pic".

    The actress who is known for being very reticent and private, has never shied away from being very vocal and sappy when it came to her daughter. The ‘Devdas’ star is famous for being a very hands-on mom to her child. The actress has always admitted that she is very attached to her daughter. For this, she is often made to be a laughingstock by trolls online.

    On the work front, Bachchan was last seen essaying a dual role in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus ‘Ponniyin Selvan: I’. The film went on to be a major critical and commercial success. The movie also marked her reunion with the auteur after more than a decade. She will next be seen in the sequel of the movie.
